At the end of most of my sales workshops, I always ask the group to determine their next steps following the learning they’ve just enjoyed. Experience tells me that if I don’t, many of them won’t take the action steps needed to put the learnings into practice.

Last month was Fathers Day here in the UK. And if you’re a father, like me, you get to put your feet up for a whole day, have lots of attention and get the Fathers Day Card treatment.

Last week I was in the City of London working with a Stock Broker client helping their salespeople get more business using the phones. Impressive environment it was. Exciting, positive, energetic, fast-paced. And I just adored the myriad of computer screens everywhere showing stock figures and enormous amounts of data. Their job was just so cool.

We’ve had cracking weather this week in the UK and on Thursday It was particularly warm, but in my sales training room the air conditioning was making the conditions very comfortable. The favourite session was approaching and my audience were visibly getting excited.

And my phone based salespeople were hoping that I would give them well thought through reasons to combat every objection they encounter.
Nonsense.

Last year, I enjoyed some major dental work to my two front teeth. Pretty major stuff it was – implants and two brand new teeth. Impressive work and an equally impressive final bill.

Having two early teenage boys faces us with a major problem. No, its not mood swings, empty fridges or Pizza complexions…no, its missing the toilet pan. Boys are just bad aimers, if you see what I’m saying. Quite frankly, this is a man thing not just teenagers.
